Puppet 'node' has no 'deactivate' action

[Kelvin Jasperson]

I'm installing Puppet as a gem in an RVM gemset, but when I do it that way the node deactivate doesn't seem to work.

# puppet node deactivte
Error: 'node' has no 'deactivte' action.  See `puppet help node`.

However, when using the packaged puppet, node deactivate is functional. Has anyone run into this before?

Obviously the solution is to just use the system package, but if there is a way to get the puppetdb terminus into the RVM version of Puppet I'd rather do that.

Environmental information and command outputs:

OS:

CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Puppet version:

3.7.5

Ruby version (RVM):

ruby 2.0.0p643

RVM version:

rvm 1.26.11

# puppet help node

USAGE: puppet node <action> [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]

...

ACTIONS:
  clean      Clean up everything a puppetmaster knows about a node.
  destroy    Invalid for this subcommand.
  find       Retrieve a node object.
  info       Print the default terminus class for this face.
  save       Invalid for this subcommand.
  search     Invalid for this subcommand.


TERMINI: active_record, exec, ldap, memory, msgpack, plain, rest, store_configs, write_only_yaml, yaml

When using the packaged version:

# rvm use system
Now using system ruby.
# puppet help node

USAGE: puppet node <action> [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]

...

ACTIONS:
  clean         Clean up everything a puppetmaster knows about a node.
  deactivate    Deactivate a set of nodes in PuppetDB
  destroy       Invalid for this subcommand.
  find          Retrieve a node object.
  info          Print the default terminus class for this face.
  save          Invalid for this subcommand.
  search        Invalid for this subcommand.
  status        Fetch the current status for a set of nodes in PuppetDB


TERMINI: active_record, exec, ldap, memory, msgpack, plain, puppetdb, rest, store_configs, write_only_yaml, yaml

Thanks

It's "deactivate", not "deactivte". Have you checked this?

Thanks for that catch! Not sure how that typo made it in there.. but it doesn't work either way.

# puppet node deactivate
Error: 'node' has no 'deactivate' action.  See `puppet help node`.
